Wall Street Area Photo Walk #StateChallenge New York

Charging Bull: Sometimes referred to as the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture that stands on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City.

The 7,100-pound (3,200 kg) bronze sculpture, standing 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and measuring 16 feet (4.9 m) long, depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity

New York City is a great place for many things, if you are a shutterbug like me it is great place to walk around and capture interesting pictures. During this trip I took a Ferry from Hoboken, New Jersey to Wall Street Ferry Terminal. Took a stroll in Wall Street area, captured several pictures. Of Course first the charging Bull!

If you are walking around Manhattan, definitely look up, you will find very interesting things to capture, with so many sky scrapers around!

Here is a shot of WTC from Ferry to Wall Street Terminal.

One World Trade Center is the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. One WTC is the tallest building in the United States, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the seventh-tallest in the world

From the ferry terminal you can capture pictures of Yachts, Boats and Ferries. You can also see a picture of Staten island ferry.

The Staten Island Ferry is a passenger ferry route operated by the New York City Department of Transportation. The ferry’s single route runs 5.2 miles through New York Harbor between the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Staten Island, with ferry boats making the trip in approximately 25 minutes

Great photos from your Wall Street photo walk @jayasimha78 . I know all these including the charging bull well. Was it because of the time that you were there or the Corona restrictions that meant that there were not many at the bull area?

@AdamGT Thank You! Pictures are from couple of years back. In fact there was a long line to take pictures with the bull. I took this shot from the other side of the bull. You can still see few folks who were standing in the line.
